* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Music/{{Sparks}} were amongst the bands whom auditioned to record the title theme, but we're turned down by Angus in favor of Music/{{They Might Be Giants}}. Listen to it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yNOKhjFF3A here.]] Other demos of auditioned bands such as Soul Coughing and Music/TheB52s have yet to surface.

** Creator/MarkHamill was Angus' choice for Bob's voice but was outed by the producers for Ferrell instead. Hamill would later voice Helga's father in "Milo Interrupted".
** A Halloween special that would've explained how Bob lost his limbs was considered for production by Creator/AdultSwim, but because Angus revealed too much about it before contracts were exchanged, they backed out at the last minute.

* EditedForSyndication: In the episode "The Golden Child", an angry customer says "Go back to France, you stupid kraut!" On Creator/AdultSwim, the word "Kraut"[[note]]an ethnic slur used against Germans[[/note]] is muted. The line is uncensored on DVD, overseas broadcasts and the original WB airing ([[ScrewedByTheNetwork that is, if you ever saw it on there]]).
*** On the TV version of "Get Off My Back", Mayor Bledsoe pulls out a gun and yells, "Move it, assholes!" with the last word partially muted out. On DVD, the line is "Move it, pussies!" with the last word uncensored.
